No. 6,756,847, which claims priority to U.S. Provisional Patent Application No. 60/360,179, filed Mar. 1, 2002, entitled “OPERATIONAL AMPLIFIER WITH INCREASED COMMON MODE USING THREE STAGES AND A SQUEEZABLE TAIL CURRENT SOURCE,” which are both incorporated by reference herein.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

1. Field of the Invention

The present invention relates to operational amplifiers, and more particularly, to operational amplifiers with increased common mode input range.

2. Related Art

Standard NTSC color video systems have been commonplace since 1970 and continue to be used widely today. The baseband NTSC video signal is an analog signal with an amplitude of approximately 1.3 Volt-peak-to-peak (Vpp) and has remained largely unchanged since the technology's inception. Early video systems had relatively large supply voltages where the difference in the positive and negative supply voltage would often be 30 volts. Processing a 1.3 Vpp signal using analog circuits with 30 V across the supplies means that issues of headroom were rarely a problem. Problems with headroom occur when the input voltage comes too close to the circuit's power supply voltages such that the circuits cannot operate properly. Given a specific supply voltage, a common-mode input range (CMIR) is defined as the range of input voltages over which the circuit can operate correctly.

The desire to integrate many circuits, both analog and digital, onto a single IC means using CMOS technologies with very small geometries. As transistor sizes shrink, more circuits can be integrated using the same amount of silicon area. However, as the transistor size shrinks, so does the maximum voltage across which the devices can safely operate. As the supply voltage approaches the signal amplitude, the challenges in circuit design increase dramatically. The required CMIR may include much of the available supply voltage. Attenuation of the NTSC signal is usually undesirable, because the NTSC signal is single-ended, and such an attenuation will result in a serious noise problem.

Many operational amplifiers (op amps) use rail-to-rail circuit techniques which allows the CMIR to include the entire supply voltage. These topologies often employ two input stages, one for operation near each supply voltage. One input stage will use a PMOS differential pair and the other will use a NMOS differential pair. Because the transconductances of these two input pairs are not matched and will not track each other over process variations, the linearity of the overall amplifier is degraded, and high performance is difficult to achieve.

Another op amp topology often chosen for it's high CMIR is the folded-cascode topology (See “Analysis and Design of Analog Integrated Circuits”, Gray, Hurst, Lewis & Meyer, John Wiley and Sons, 4th ed. 2001, pp. 446-450). Defining the MOS threshold voltage as Vt and the overdrive voltage VGT=VGS−Vt, in FIG. 6.28 of Gray et al., maximum input common-mode voltage VCMI(max)=VDD−Vt5−VGT5−VGT1 (assume matched transistor pairs M1-M2, M11-M12, M1A-M2A in FIG. 6.28 of Grey et al., with the numeric subscript referring to the transistor number). Also the Vt's and VGT's are assumed to be positive whether the transistor is NMOS or PMOS. Voltages greater than VCMI(max) will cause M5 to leave saturation and it's current will drop. The folded-cascode circuit often allows the VCMI to reach the negative supply, usually ground in low supply voltage circuits, without any problems. However, in unity gain buffer configurations, where the inverting op amp input is tied to the output, it is the output which will limit the voltage swing.

Although the linearity of the folded-cascode op amp is better than the typical rail-to-rail designs, it still has linearity problems due to the finite output impedance of M5 in FIG. 6.28 of Gray et al. As the common mode input voltage VCMI changes, the tail current ID5 will change, which will in turn change the gain of the stage. The stage gain varies as a function of the input stage transconductance gm times the output resistance R0. The gain goes down as the tail current increases. To overcome this problem, the tail current source could be cascoded, however this would further reduce VCMI(max) by an additional VGT term.

 DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

Reference will now be made in detail to the preferred embodiments of the present invention, examples of which are illustrated in the accompanying drawings.

FIG. 1 illustrates a three-stage amplifier of one embodiment of the present invention. As shown in FIG. 1, the amplifier includes a conventional 2-stage amplifier 102, and an added stage 101 (a “gm-gm stage). These stages will be referred to as conventional amplifier 102 and “first stage” 101 when referring to FIG. 1.

The amplifier 102 is well known in the art and includes two differential pair transistors M4, M5, NMOS transistor pair M8 and M9, a tail current transistor M13, and output stage M12, M1 and M10, outputting a signal VOUT. Transistors M4, M5, M13, M12, M1 and M10 are PMOS transistors, and transistors M8 and M9 are NMOS transistors. Sources of transistors M8 and M9 are connected to ground. Drain of transistor M9 is connected to gate of transistor M10, and to output VOUT through capacitor C0 (2.4 pF) and resistor R1 (140 Ω). Transistors M4, M5, M8 and M9 collectively represent an example of an input stage 102A, and transistors M10, M1 and M12 is an example of an output stage 102B. In other words, amplifier 102 is a conventional 2-stage op amp.

In one embodiment, bias voltages VB2, VB3, VB3C are typically around 1.2-1.4 V. The supply voltage VDD is typically 2.5 V, but a variation of 10-15% is often seen, therefore, a nominally 2.5V circuit must operate down to 2.2V.

The gain of conventional amplifier stages varies with output voltage often resulting in distortion and nonlinearity. In practical video applications, it is desirable to have at least 10 bits of linearity, i.e., the circuit should be linear to one out of 210, which corresponds to about 60 dB of linearity (1 bit=6 dB). It is more desirable to have at least 70 dB of linearity, which corresponds to 11-12 bits. It is also desirable to design a circuit using plain CMOS technology, and to have a circuit that has low power, low area, low noise, high linearity and high swing. Differential pair transistors M4 and M5 cannot accomplish it alone.

Adding a low-gain, high-bandwidth input stage to amplifier 102 will sacrifice some of its closed loop bandwidth. However it simplifies and improves many of the aspects of the op amp.

As further shown in FIG. 1, first stage 101 includes an input differential transistor pair M0 and M1, whose drains are connected to load transistors M2 and M3, respectively. Drains of transistors M2 and M3 are connected to ground, as are their gates. Substrates of transistors M2 and M3 are connected to their sources.

A tail current transistor M14 has a drain connected to sources of transistors M0 and M1 (at node tail1), and its source connected to the supply voltage VDD. Transistor M14 has a gate voltage of VB1 (a DC bias voltage), a gate of transistor M0 is driven by VIP, and a gate of transistor M1 is driven by VIN. In closed loop operation (see FIG. 3), VIN and VOUT would be connected to each other (not shown in FIG. 1). VIN and VIP correspond to the “−” and “+” inputs of an op amp (see FIG. 3).

Drains of M0 and M1 are also connected to gates of M4 and M5, respectively.

As the gain of first stage 101 is the ratio of the transconductances of transistors M0 and M2, gM0/gM2, this gain remains constant over variations in process temperature and bias because all the transistors are PMOS devices. The first stage 101 absorbs all the variation in VCMI, therefore simplifying the design of amplifier 102 and allowing it to be optimized for high gain and low noise. In typical applications, the closed loop gain of the op amp of FIG. 1 is approximately 1, i.e., first stage 101 acts as a buffer stage. If the open loop gain of first stage 101 is 1.7, noise at the input is reduced by 1.72, i.e., the proposed added stage results in a noise advantage.

The average voltage at nodes ggn and ggp does not change, i.e., it is fixed despite the swing in the input voltages VIN and VIP. First stage 101 rejects the common mode voltage of signals applied at VIP and VIN. Thus, wide input swings are absorbed by first stage 101. When input voltages at the gates of M0 and M1 swing towards negative supply, common mode input voltage into amplifier 102 is still fixed, since variation in the common mode input voltage is absorbed by first stage 101.

Note that tail current source transistor M14 may be replaced with an ideal current source.

Transistors M14, M0, M1, M2 and M3 are PMOS transistors in the circuit shown in FIG. 1. If the polarity of all transistors is reversed (i.e. all the NMOS transistors in FIG. 1 were replaced with PMOS transistors, and all the PMOS transistors were replaced with NMOS transistors), the circuit would work in the same manner. It is important, however, that M0 and M1 be of the same polarity (i.e., NMOS or PMOS), and M2 and M3 be of the same polarity. If control over manufacturing process parameters were such that threshold voltage, transconductance and body effect (i.e., body-source voltage or substrate-source voltage) were matched perfectly over the operating temperature range (in other words, the small signal model parameters of transistors M0-M3 were substantially identical), then differential transistor pair M0 and M1, and load transistor pair M2 and M3 need not be of the same polarity. However, to the extent the small signal model parameters of the four transistors M0-M3 are not perfectly matched, transistors M0-M3 need to be of the same polarity (all PMOS, or all NMOS).

As shown in FIG. 1, the VCMI(max) of the circuit is similar to the folded cascode, though it does not require a cascoded tail current source for improved linearity resulting in lower power. Here, VCMI(min)=Vt2+VGT2−Vt0, (with the numeric subscript referring to the transistor number) which, assuming the Vt's are equal, reduces to VGT2. However, the body effect of MOS transistors will increase Vt as the bulk-source voltage (VBS) increases. This is used to some advantage in this topology. Tying the bulk (substrate) connection to the source of the load transistors M2, M3 means VBS=0 and Vt for the load transistors M2, M3 will not increase. Leaving the substrate of the input differential transistor pair M0, M1 tied to the positive supply VDD means that as VCMI decreases, Vt0 increases and VCMI(min) is reduced, increasing the effective CMIR.

Due to the substrate-to-source connections of load transistors M2 and M3, the amplifier circuit gets an additional 100 millivolts of extra swing.

FIG. 2 illustrates a modification of the amplifier of FIG. 1, including the addition of a current source 103 (amplifier 102 is not shown for clarity). When VIP and VIN swing towards the VDD rail, transistor M14 leaves the saturation region and its current drops. This results in a reduction in the bandwidth, and to a second order gain, of first input stage 102, both of which cause nonlinearity. Accordingly, it is desirable to have transistor M14 go into a linear mode but still provide the same drain current to input into the differential transistor pair M0, M1. In other words, it is desirable to “squeeze” the drain-source voltage of transistor M14, i.e. to have it work outside of its saturation region, but still provide the same current as before.

As shown in FIG. 2, current source 103 includes PMOS transistors M15, M16, M17A, M17B, M18 and M57. Gates of transistors M17A and M17B are driven by VIN and VIP, respectively. The source of transistor M15 is connected to the supply voltage VDD, the gate of transistor M15 is driven by VB2, and the drain of transistor M15 is connected to gates of transistors M16 and M14. The drain of transistor M15 is also connected to a source of transistor M18. The drain of transistor M18 is connected to ground. Transistors M17A and M17B form a differential pair, and drive NMOS transistor M19, and whose tail current source is transistor M16 (at node tail1b). Drains of transistors M17A, M17B are also connected to a gate of transistor M18. A gate of transistor M57 is connected to VB1, and the gate of transistor M15 is driven by VB2.

Transistors M16 and M14 form a current mirror, such that whatever current flows into M16 also flows into M14. If drain-source voltage VDS of transistor M14 is significantly different than VDS of transistor M16, and/or is less than VGT, then current in the two transistors is no longer well matched. Therefore, two transistors M17A and M17B are used to remedy the situation. As the input voltages VIN, VIP approach the supply voltage VDD, and VDS of transistor M14 decreases, VDS of transistor M16 also decreases. As input voltages VIN, VIP increase and begin to approach VDD, the currents in transistors M16 and M14 remains the same for higher input voltages compared to without current source 103.

Transistor M15 provides a bias current to transistor M18, and can be replaced by an ideal current source, or by a resistor, as long as there is some current flowing.

Note that to be in a saturation region, transistor M14 needs to have at least VGT across the drain to source region (actually, slightly more than VGT). In the circuit of FIG. 2, transistor M14 can still operate as a current source, but its drain source voltage VDS is less than VGT. This occurs because input transistor M16 of the current source 103 has the same VDS as M14. The source voltages of M17A and M17B mimic the source voltages of the input devices, thus matching VDS14 and VDS16 equal. If both VDS and VGS of these devices match, the drain currents will be equal as well.

If transistor M14 in FIG. 1 were just a simple tail current source, VCMI (max) would be similar to the folded cascode topology. As shown in FIG. 2, transistors M14, M16 and M18 make a buffered simple current mirror with transistor M15 providing the bias for transistor M18. What makes current source transistor M16 squeezable is the two transistors M17A, M17B, each with a gate connected to each input of first stage 101. As VCMI increases and the input differential pair M0, M1 starts to squeeze M14 and push it into the linear region of operation, transistors M17A, M17B simultaneously squeeze transistor M16, doing the same to it. Because the current flowing out of transistor M19 does not change, neither can the drain currents of transistors M16, M17A and M17B, so transistor M16's gate voltage, labeled VB1, adjusts to the appropriate value for the desired drain current in the linear region. Because VB1 also drives the gate of transistor M14, the drain current of transistor M14 is largely unaffected when transistor M14 leaves the saturation region, unlike the simple current source in the folded-cascode topology. Without the squeezable tail, VCMI(max)=VDD−Vt0−VGT0−VGT14. With the squeezable tail, the VGT14 term is removed, and VCMI(max) increases.

Note that current source 103 may be connected to the gate of M13 of amplifier 102, instead of the gate of transistor M14 of first stage 101. Even without first stage 101, the addition of current source 103 to “squeeze” transistor M13 will be advantageous. (Note that FIGS. 1 and 2 also show length and width dimensions of the various transistors of one examplary implementation of the present invention.)

FIG. 4 illustrates the advantages of the present invention in graphical form by illustrating normalized worst-case input stage gain over all worst case process and temperature corners (for VDD=2.5V).

There is no commonly accepted definition for an op amp's common mode-input range (CMIR) where high linearity will be obtained. What is usually specified is the minimum and maximum DC voltages which the amplifier can attain. However, signals may be distorted well before these voltages are reached. Over some CMIR, if an amplifier stage's gain remains constant at the signal frequency of interest, that stage will not contribute to an amplifier's overall distortion if the signal amplitude stays within the CMIR. FIG. 4 shows the worst case normalized input-stage gain as the common-mode input voltage VCMI is swept from 0 to 2 V. Normalized gain (meaning the gain at VCMI=1V for each curve) was subtracted from the data so that all curves would cross a common point, and the changes in gain as a function of VCMI could be compared. “Worst-case” here means all combinations (16 total) of NMOS (high and low) transistors and PMOS (high and low) transistors, bias current (±20%) and operating temperature (0° C. and 125° C.) were simulated, and the curves shown in FIG. 4 are ones whose gain changed 1 dB most rapidly from the VCMI=1V gain for both increasing and decreasing VCMI. Each gain was determined in an AC small signal simulation and measured at the maximum NTSC signal frequency of 6 MHz.

The four curves represent four different amplifier circuits:

(1) No gm-gm stage 101, amplifier 102 consisting of PMOS differential transistor pair M4-M5, NMOS transistors M8-M9 and current source M13 (in other words, the conventional amplifier 102 alone).

(2) Input stage PMOS gm-gm stage 101 with a differential transistor pair M1-M2, diodes M3-M4 and a constant tail current source M14 is added. In this case, the gate of M14 is tied to a constant voltage reference and the body connections of the diode are tied to the positive supply.

(3) Squeezable current source 103, including transistors M15-M19, M57, is added to the circuit, compared to the circuit corresponding to the graph of (2).

(4) The bodies (substrates) of the diodes M3-M4 are tied to their respective sources, compared to the circuit corresponding to the graph of (3).

With each successive circuit change, the CMIR over which the gain remains relatively constant increases. This increases the range of VCMI that a signal may pass with little distortion.

Thus, the present invention provides an operational amplifier with a first stage that inputs a differential input signal and absorbing common mode variations in the differential input signal, and that outputs a first differential signal. The input stage includes a differential transistor pair receiving the first differential signal from the first stage. An output stage is connected to the input stage and outputs an amplified signal corresponding to the first differential signal.
